A similar Streamlight might cost $100.

I have not had a Wurkkos or Sofirn fail and even have many no name generic china lights are still going strong after ten or more years of use and abuse.
Why would I want more expensive when I can have multiple light in various form factors and function where I need them for still significantly less cost than one Streamlight?
Streamlight also seems to want to suck you into proprietary batteries that you can only get from them which I find very weaselly and money grubbing in a world where low cost 18650 is becoming standard.

More importantly, because there will be losses converted into heat, and the thermal mass of the flashlight is not nearly enough to handle it @ 5000lm for more than a few seconds, it would destroy the emitter with the heat generated if it was able to run at that output for an extended period.
As the commentator above says, the light will quickly step down to a lower output level and the output will decline over time until the flashlight shuts off due to low voltage. See the review I linked earlier in the thread.
You can literally get five or more of Wurkkos for the price of one of the designer fanboy brands. I can have a host of different sized and feature lights for the price of one and someone tries to tell me that is bad or unwise, I just do not get it.
Even if I worry about warranty and support the Wurkkos still comes out on top even if they offer none as I could have five of these for the price of one Steamlilight. If one fails so be it I am still ahead.
I'd like to keep one handy for my upcoming trip.
I got the Energizer for $12.xx which is still not shipped.
Also, will it be allowed on international flight ?
